The multi-racial revival of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, starring Blair Underwood, Nicole Ari Parker and Daphne Rubin-Vega, will begin previews at the Broadhurst Theatre April 3 with an official opening April 22, according to Variety.

The Broadhurst had previously been announced to house the new musical Rebecca, based on the Daphne du Maurier novel, which was slated to begin in late March. On Jan. 24 producers announced they were postponing the production due to insufficient capitalization.

As previously reported, Emily Mann (Anna in the Tropics, Miss Witherspoon) will direct Streetcar, which is produced by Stephen C. Byrd and Alia M. Jones of Front Row Productions.

Front Row Productions also presented the all-African-American revival of Cat On a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway in 2008, which also played the Broadhurst. The production later transferred to London.
